Be sure to have the periodic table of elements handy:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number (Mass number minus atomic number)

What are the relationship between protons and neutrons in a atom?

The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A neutral atom, you'll recall, is one where the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. We remember that atoms often "loan out" or "borrow" electrons, so the electron count will not always equal the proton count.
